 ITDI-DOST BIOREACTOR
COMPOSTING TECHNOLOGY
The ITDI-DOST bioreactor composting technology was developed as an alternative technology for management of municipal
solid waste, specifically for the organic fraction of solid waste. The stirred-tank bioreactor has feeding capacities of 500 kg per
day and 1,000 kg per day.

The portable biogas digester is an airtight, oxygen

digestion takes place inside to produce gas. The major GAS
HOLDER
components of the portable biogas digester are the anaerobic
digester and the gasholder. The material is either a plastic
drum or fabricated metal or a combination of the two. The
plastic material has a maximum capacity of 210 liters (0.21m3)
for the digester and 145 liters (0.145m3) for the gasholder
while the metal type material has a capacity of 450 liters
(0.45m3) for the digester and 530 liters (0.530m3) for the Department of Science and Technology
gasholder. The substrates fed to the digester can be kitchen INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE

USES
The portable Biogas Digester converts the wastes
into two (2) useful products, namely:
• fuel gas for cooking and lighting applications,
and
• sludge as organic fertilizer or soil condition.
BENEFITS
• Easy to fabricate and install
• Transferrable
• Supplement energy needs of a small household
• Better waste management of agricultural, industrial and
household waste
• Reduce groundwater contamination
• Reduce greenhouse gas emission by replacing the use of fuel
wood and capturing of methane and carbon dioxide
• Production of organic fertilizer/compost
POSSIBLE SUBSTRATE FOR BIOGAS
• kitchen waste • human feces

• vegetable waste • agricultural waste

• chicken dung • slaughterhouse

ITDI-DOST
Dual Drum Composter
The ITDI-DOST dual drum composter is one of the
solid waste management technologies developed by the
Environment and Biotechnology Division of ITDI. This
technology is a small-scale composter for management of
biodegradable waste in barangays and in communities
generating small amount of organic waste.
The dual drum composter is a motorized in-vessel
composter with a feeding capacity of 50 kg per drum. The
operation is batch-type with 4 to 5 days retention time.
The composter is made of 200L-capacity high density
polyethylene (HDPE) drums and rotated by a ¼ HP
motor.

Potential beneficiaries
o Barangays
o Schools & Universities
o Small villages or community
o Small farms
o Institutions generating small
amount of organic wastes
Composting Process
The composting operation using the ITDI-DOST dual drum composter basically consists
of four steps:
1.Feedstock preparation – consists of shredding the organic wastes, then weighing
and mixing of raw materials.
2. In-vessel composting – where composting materials are loaded into the dual drum
composter and operated for four to five days.
3.Curing – where further maturation of raw compost occurs. Unloaded materials from
the dual drum composter are piled for a minimum of 4 weeks.
4. Screening and packing – mature compost are sieved to remove large particles. Fine
products are then packed in sacks and stored in shaded dry area.

◤ This new design is a single screw
electric densifier that requires no oil.

◤ It is a spin-off from ITDI’s previous melting

oven densifier that uses waste cooking oil that
has now become a commercial commodity.

◤ Its basic system consists of a screw that

conveys plastics from a hopper through a
heating zone in a metal pipe where the plastic
is melted.

◤ Alternative products from the melted plastic

wastes can be developed.
